Wanna tell ya all 'bout Johnny
Well he was a good friend of mine
But the bond it broke down over time
'Cause Johnny thrived on anger
He was bitter all the time
Someone shoulda stopped and seen the signs
He couldn't pay the cost, he was gettin' lost
Wish someone noticed
Johnny's takin' life too much for granted
Johnny wants to leave it all behind
Well we thought he was a loner
'Cause he pushed us all away
But he really wanted us to stay, yeah
But we took him on the surface
Never lookin' deep inside
Never thought that he would try and hide
What's on the other side
Behind a mask of pride
Wish someone woulda realized
Johnny's takin' life too much for granted
Johnny wants to check out of his mind
Johnny's eaten up inside
Contemplatin' suicide
Johnny wants to leave it all behind
One night while he was sleepin'
Well it became so clear
Don't push away the things you hold so dear
Now he's holdin' on, and he's gettin' strong
And he found a new perspective
Johnny took his life too much for granted
Johnny's gonna change his state of mind
Johnny's feelin' good inside
To hell with thoughts of suicide
Johnny's gonna leave that all behind
'Cause on and on, now he's gettin' strong
And he found that life's worth fightin' for
